a few years ago I used to balk at this with my friends and family: “would you tip at McDonald’s? Starbucks is fast-food.”
but I have since been to a McDonald’s with an in-use tip jar. so, I guess they would.
tipping a local establishment feels like supporting local workers and businesses. tipping underpaid major corporation workers is being co-opted into a business’ payroll cost mitigation scheme.
Fucking Starbucks is asking for tips.
If you’re spending $7+ on a coffee you probably aren’t concerned with being frugal 😀
This topic is unrelated to frugality.
If one is spending $7 for coffee, that should be enough to have the employer pay their employees.
No, I don’t pay $7 for Starbucks coffee.
